Abstract
The present invention provides a sealed enclosure which houses fiber optic cable in a manner accepted in the field. The sealed enclosure for a cable includes a floor surface, the floor surface having a discontinuous periphery defining at least one opening in the floor surface, the at least one opening defining a pass through in the floor surface. Upstanding side and back walls extend from the floor surface, and a ceiling surface joins with the side and back walls opposite to the floor surface. At least one door is mounted to a front of the enclosure and against corresponding edges of the floor surface, side walls, and ceiling surface. A sealing assembly is positioned over the at least one opening in the floor surface to seal the enclosure from the external environment upon insertion of the cable within the enclosure.
